Fund Description
Under normal circumstances, we invest:
| ■ | at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in equity securities of medium-capitalization companies. |
We invest principally in equity securities of medium-capitalization companies, which we define as securities of companies with market capitalizations within the range of the Russell Midcap® Index at the time of purchase. The market capitalization range of the Russell Midcap® Index was approximately $270 million to $73.29 billion, as of December 31, 2023, and is expected to change frequently.
We look for undervalued companies that we believe have the potential for above average capital appreciation with below average risk. Rigorous fundamental research drives our search for companies with favorable reward-to-risk ratios and that possess, a long-term competitive advantage provided by a durable asset base, strong balance sheets, and sustainable and superior cash flows. Typical investments include stocks of companies that are generally out of favor in the marketplace, or are undergoing reorganization or other corporate action that may create above-average price appreciation. We regularly review the investments of the portfolio and may sell a portfolio holding when a stock nears its price target, downside risks increase considerably, the company’s fundamentals have deteriorated, or we identify a more attractive investment opportunity.
